 A couple of stories about old money here, but not in the traditional sense of old money. First off, in 1965, André Francois Ruffray, a lawyer, made a deal with 90-year-old Jeanne Calment. She was 90 in 1965. He said he would pay her rent, 2,500 francs. That's about 6.30 in today's dollars. Every month until her death.
